* within the same forest --> no need to translate profiles (although different SID, GUID takes care of this)
* between different forests --> profile translation is needed (different GUID and SID)
Different forests.
you can use ADMT or any third party tool....
Sorry, I am not familiar with what profile translation entails behind the scenes. Is profile translation when the new user simply has NTFS permissions to their old profile, but when they log into Windows a new empty/blank profile is created, and so if they wanted to all of their previous settings they would have to manually copy favourites, documents, etc. from their old profile to their new profile?
as soon as users start to use their new account you need to translate the profile
This will log the new user into the exisitng profile then?
Thanks, Jorge.

Subject: [ActiveDir] ADMT v3 Profile cleanup options
Computer and user migration with ADMT v3 scenario:
Users have local profiles (non-roaming). It appears as though when you migrate user and computer into new forest, the new user in the target forest logs into the same computer (now part of target domain) and a new profile is created; they are not routed into their existing profile. Just curious how you have all managed to get around this without interrupting the users too much.
Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP Pro SP2 environment.
Thanks,
